Can You Make Apple Crumble Without Peeling the Apples? - Voyo Eats

Frozen apple slices

🤣

I've made it with skin on apples and didn't notice any difference😂

If you can live with it being a different kind of fruit than apple, use frozen fruit (I don’t think you can get frozen apple but I may be wrong). I keep bags of frozen mixed berries in the freezer, tip some into a dish, leave to defrost a bit, pop on some sugar and crumble topping and it’s ready for the oven. When I make crumble topping I also make loads and keep it in the freezer. It stays free-flowing so you just tip on what you want and put the rest back in the freezer.

If using tinned fruit, plums work better than apples.

I never peel apples for a crumble.

Leave the skin on lol.

I just leave the skins on. Just as nice and better for you.

I don’t peel the apples.
Tinned apple is rank.

mmh not sure about the skins ! I just saw that you can buy frozen apples at Waitrose and marks and Spencer !

I made a crumble, peeling the apples is slightly less annoying than rubbing the butter and flour Roger. I use a pastry blender and that helps with the crumble.

Waitrose do a delicious Danish apple tart, with big chunky whole pieces of apple - nice with either crème fraiche or natural Greek yoghurt.

Or they do an apple crumble, which is also delishhhhh.

I devote one half day each late August to peeling and chopping cooking apples. Then I freeze loads of boxes ready for crumbles all year.

Frozen cherries make lovely crumble.
I find tinned apples have lost a lot of flavour, so will need some lemon juice, cinnamon or blackberries. They do work well in cakes though.

I always leave the skins on, I think it adds extra flavor. I also love a blueberry crumble using frozen blueberries. Cherries sound yummy @hexsnidgett , I’m going to try them.

I’m slightly obsessed with crumbles as a winter pudding, my family laugh at me as I get sudden urges to make them. 😋

So are people using unpeeled cooking apples?

Apricot crumble using tinned apricot halves is very quick and really nice.

I make my crumble with about 70% oats and 30% flour, sugar and melted butter - just mix together and no rubbing in needed.
I used to do it 50/50 in the food processor, but the oats just got blitzed.

Similar to a PP I have loads of frozen fruit from last autumn, prepared and then frozen on trays and bagged up.

@FurForksSake Personally I prefer eating apples as they’re naturally sweeter. I’m using Honeycrisps atm.

My parents had apple trees so we used peeled cooking apples growing up.

I do the same, we get a huge windfall of apples and pears from Pil about that time. I stew the lot with cinnamon and a vanilla pod (no sugar) and freeze, crumble, pies, on top of breakfast porridge or muesli, apple pin wheels, we're starting to run out at this point in the year.

I always use cooking apples with a little sugar and cornflour. I don’t think they would work unpeeled.

tinned crushed pineapple crumble with evaporated milk is the food of the gods.

Delia Smith said you don't need to peel apples and that's good enough for me.
